Women IN JOurnaiism,

The woman who would become u
Journalist must fit into the organization
wherever she is needed. She may be
asked to read articles and prepare them
for the printer, to condense a paper of
5000 words into 1000 without omitting
point or weakening an argument, read
proof, hold copy for the proof-reader,
write advertising paragraphs, attend to
editorial correspondence, look after the
makeup of the 'forms." prepare advcr-
tlslng circulars, review books, write
obituaries, report events, write head
lines, answer questions, look after the
exchanges, make clippings compile arti-
cles, write editorials, or do hun
dred other things. If she earns per
manent place she must do some of these
things better than any other available
person, and before she rises to an cdito-
rial position she ought to know how to
do them all, and what is more know
when others are doing them hight.
Journalism is by no means purely litcra-
ry work, nor is it without its disadvant-
ages. The halo which surrounds it is
largely fictitious. Every department Of
the work has more or less drudgcry con.
nected with it; the cditor-in- CHEF knows
what he wants and does not want, and
oil work must be done i'll accordance
with his views, often i'll direct opposi-
ton to personal tastes; the hurry of the
work, particularly on daily and weekly
papers, is heavy strain; the associa-
tlons III reportorial positions are not
always pleasant; advancement is often
SLOW, as even a person well fitted for the
work Is long time obtaining thorough
commahu OF MS resources. Jhc dlsad-
vantages peculiar to women arc not
many. a greater ibcraiitY Of IDEAS as II
rule ch&ractcTizes Journalist, than other
professional men, and tic question OF
ability is usually the only nc raised.
There are certain kinds Of reporting, a
police and morguo news, impossible to
u woman; but 1t is n kind of news which
advancing civilization makes more and
more unpopular. NJ. Tarbcll in the

n Type of Washington.

One OF the most conspicuous, and con-
sequently, as things are estimated here,
most successful OF all the host of these
aSpirants for social laurels is the widow
OF Rocky Mountain mining camp bar
keeper. She herself was q washer
woman, and in spite Of several years
residence i'll ''Yurrup," retains much of
the brOguo and many of the characteris-
tics of her formerly highly honorable
and useful avocation. But what matters
it that she cannot utter sentence of re-
spectacle English? What, though in
resplendeEt Partisan creations of satin,
velvet and feathers, she looks like the
queen of Biddle's masquerade? She is
rich as she-Cr0Sus, and "entertains"
like she-Lucullus-''e entertainment" in
this city OF eXecrable taverns referring
largely to punch and salad bowls, cro-
quette plattcrs and wine bottles. She
gorges the nOt-tOo- -fastidious leaders of
the Washington vanity Fair" with the
highest priced vituals, and swills them
with the choicest vintages of Burgundy
and champagne. One of her recent
"blowouts, as she would call it, brought
together many Of tho most noted people

How tho German People Celebrated His

and Imposing Ceremonies.

| How the German People Celebrated Ills
Ninetieth Birthday Brilliant Pageantry
and Imposing Ceremonies.
| BERLIN, March 22.-The ninetieth an.
niversary of Emperor Williams birth
was ushercd in by the pealing of JOY
bells in all the churches and the tower OF
tho town hall, and The sounding OF
choral chimes. The city is decorated rs
it never was before. Garlands, flags,
| laurcls, fcstoons of evergreen, banners,
bright drapery and brilliant carpets arc
hung OH every conspicuous spot where
ornament can be made to add to the Joy
GUS appearance Of the town. ConSpicu-
Gus by the extreme elegance of their
decorations are the Royal Academy and
University buildings, and the city resi-
dcncc of the Crown Prince Frederick
William. The monument of Frederick
the Great is covered with wrcaths and
flowers. Wherever there is q bust or
statue Of the Emperor in shop window
or other exposed place it is buried in
flowers. People are all out in holiday
attire and the streets are thronged.
Early in the day special memorial re-
hgious services wcro held i'll all the
churches and synagogucs, and the edi-
tices were crowded i'll every case. Chill
dren from all the schools in the city
went i'll professions, accompanied by
bands of music, to the church services.
The students procession past the
palace was grand affair. They went in
carriages, of which there were several
hundred in line, carried bright banners
of the various school and college socio-
ties and associations, and were accom- .
panied by many bands playing music
and arranged i'll gorgeous medieval cos
tunes. The long line Of carriages was
preceded and followed by students on
horseback. Passing the palace bands
played national anthem, "Prcussenlicd'
and "Wacht am Rhien," tho Students all
singing to the music. The Emperor ap-
pearod at a window as the procession
was moving past, and bowed, remainiGg
there considerable time. The great
crowd in the street gave him an ovation,
the multitude cheering itself hoarSo and
tlrlng itself out waving hats and hand
kerchefs.
All the mombers Of the imperial family
and all their princcly guests drove in
procession to the palace and personally
rendered their ngratulationS to the
Emperor. The procession was chccrcd
by the crowds in the streets.

y large part Of life's burdens are self
imposed and wholly needless. Fears of
calamltics which never happen, II doIcful
habit Of looking at the worst, II sus-
plclouS disposition, n Jealous turn of
mind d-thcso arc the tyrants that load us
with burdens heavy to bear and needless
to carry. If We should honestly examine
the various burdens Of our lives, we
would be surprised to find how many of
them arc Of this character. Not only
may We drop them if VIC will, but Justice
TO others demands that we should. A
man or woman habitually unhappy is
essentially selfish, and is always thorn
in the community. There are enough
crosses and trials in life which must be
bOrno, without manufacturing artificial
and needless ones; and the moro thor.
Oughly We rid ourselves of the latter, tho
more energy and spirit we can bring tc
bear upon the former.

THE PRESIDENTIAL BOOM.

(Lcttor TO the Cincinnati Enquirer }

Qcttcr 10 the Cincinnati Enuuirerj
The play for the Presidential position
has begun early. Sherman will soon be

II view TO make an impression in his own
political interest than to advance views
calculated to aid the development of the
section he visits.
think L can anticipate Mr.. Sherman's
calculations. If Blaine wants renomi-
nation Sherman believes he can have it
without reaching out his hand. Blaine
wants It, he thinks, only in the event
that he feels ASSUMED Of his election. He
VIII again tale no chances. Sherman
Will come In as commanding quantity
if Blaine should decide not to seek the
nomination. Ii Blaine attempts to con-
troll the convention in the interest of a
candidate of his own choice rather than
himself, Mr.. Sherman will then an
tagonize him. He will not give way for
MIR. Allison or anybody else. In short,
Sherman will endeayor to place his can
dIdacy III such position as to make it
impossible to repeat such n deal as re-
suited in the nomination of Garfield.
Mr.. Blaine is now more apprehensive
Of the prohibition than of the mug
Wump vote. In his own State, in New
York, III Ohio, and in the northwestern
States prohibition is growing The vote,
too, is in political contests becoming
more gregarious. 1t largely draws it's
strength from the Republican party, as
does the labor vote from the Democratic
party. In his own mind the problem
now being revolvod by Mr.. Blaine is
"Will thoro be enough votes cast out
side of the Republican party for q pro
hibition candidate to ieopardize New
York or any other Republican Slater"
II he comes to the conclusion there will
not be, Mr.. Blaine will be Richmond
III the field.
Mr.. Shermans candidacy this time
means more and looks more portentous
than 1t ever did before. The Camcrons,
OF PennsylVania, Simon and Don, are
allied with it. They are afraid Blaine in
power would cut that wing. They are
for Sherman because of martial alliances
which binds the house of Sherman with
their own, and because, while they
might not get all they asked from him,
they would never get the cold shoulder.
| However, it doubtless is true that in
Pennsylvania Blaine is stronger than the
Camerons. In Ohio he has heretofore
shown more strength than Sherman.

place on the next national ticket Origi-
mated, Of course, in Chicago paper.
There is not the slightest basis for the
imputation. General Lee is not the
man to go around hunting for Office, aid
it is difficult to see how flying trip, or
any other trip, to st. Paul or anywhere
else, could promote such an object.
Governor Lee came here to dino with
the President and Mrs. Cleveland, and
at the last moment decided to accompa-
ny some friends to the northwcst--a little

time we again insist that he would make

THE FILES CASE.
Proceedings Of the Second Day.

Court came in Saturday morning little
after 10 O'clock.
Dr. George II. Cummings was the first wit
ness. He testified that the treatment of Mrs.
Jensen by DR.. Swasey was what was proper
under the circumstances.
The doctor gave as his opinion that abor-
ton was the cause of the peritOniuS and
subsequent death.
DR.. Swasey was recalled and testified to
Mr.. Jensen's belief on the Monday before
she died that she wouldn't recover, and e.
L. Dyer identified the written statement
made by Mrs. Jensen before him, as mag
istrate. the afternoon before she died. Then
a long discussion ensued as to the admissible
ity of the ante-mortem statement, pending
which the Court adjourned until afternoon.
At 3p. M. Court came in and Mary j. Gun
soc testified that she nursed Mrs. Jensen in
her sickness, and that she told witness she
didn't believe she should get well. Reeor-
der Dyer also testified that he read the ante
mortem statement to Mr.. Jensen, that she
said 1t was true and signed it. In the state
ment she says she knows she is past recov-
cry.
The ante-mortem statement was then
again offered by the government and object
ed TO by the defence. Judge Gould admitted
the part that told of her visits to Dr. Files
and what took place at his Office, but exclud-
ed the part which says she was conscious
that she was about to die, or words to that
effect.
DIR. Frederick Henry Gerrish testified to a
consultation on Mrs. Jensen's case with Dr.
Swasey and his opinion that she died of
pertionitis and blood poisoning, and that in
his opinion, assuming a hypothetical case,
that the death resulted from disease ensu-
ing directly from the production of Ian abor-
ton, and that Mr. Jensen told him he saw
DR.. Files perform an operation.
Mr.. Hale, for the defence, moved the dis
charge of his client, DR.. Files, on the ground
| of lack of sufficient evidence.
County Attorney Seiders replied and court
adjourned to IL a. m. today, Monday
